Wastewater treatment and the environment are core issues for the society. The IDA Congress shed light on the overlapping elements between these areas and its impact on sustainable development. Specifically in the session which was co-chaired by me, we attempted to address the health and environmental impacts of desalination and reuse technologies with an emphasis on boron control techniques.'

In his comments, Mr. Halabi said: 'In line with the mandate of the global environment laws, Metito believes in following appropriate wastewater engineering. Our commitment to the environment is well known and this Congress in Singapore gave us an ideal opportunity to showcase our expertise to the entire world.
